Re: 53 Surburban "Family Truckster"
Marc you are cruising on the floor structure. Isn't the welder awesome?
Are you still going up through the floor for your fuel fill? |

Yes I'm planning on a small pop up gas cap directly above the fill on the tank. Depending on how far down the gas cap flange extends down I might only need about 2" of hose to connect the gas cap to the tank. Marc |

Great progress and the floor looks really solid! Nice welder - I got the Miller 211 last year and love it. I'm still burning holes but getting better over time.

Well I have the week off of work so I'm going to spend some time in the garage in hopes to catch up to Doug. It was over 50 degrees today in Michigan which is crazy for December. I decided it was a good day to pull the 20's off of my 48 to throw them on the 53 suburban to check fitment. I also started to fit the inner fenders. The goal is 22" rims up front with full OE inner fenders. I have such a nice set of OE inner fenders that it pained me to cut them up to fit to my Porterbuilt drop member. I also spent a few minutes to weld up a few small holes in an effort to clean up the inner fenders.
On to the pics. |

How did the wheel and tire fit?
Those inner are really solid pieces. Looks like it is all fitting well Marc. |

I have since went back and added some material back to the inner fenders to improve the look/fit. I'm liking the fit more and more.. Marc |

Re: 53 Surburban "Family Truckster"
the extra work will pay off. are you painting the engine bay area? I personally love the stock inners. its just one of the things the factory did so well from the gate. glad you are using them. IMO the newer parts in the engine bay have more contrast with some of the old original features of the truck. If everything looks new I feel like the balance is off and it feels too modern. To me I like the contrast of old and new, more toward the old!
